Question on 2008 Pilot rear brakes
I had my mechanic verify that the rear brakes need to be replaced. I have changed disc brakes on a number of cars but was caught off guard with my mechanics comment regarding the calipers, piston. He wasn't exactly sure but thought that the piston may be a screw in type and that a special tool was required to screw it in, in order to retract the piston to make room for the new pads. Usually I've just used a lagre "C" clamp to retract the piston.
Has anyone had any experience with rear brake replacements, that could answer my question? |

C clamp works fine, they are very easy to do. There is actually a small old school drum brake inside the rotor hat that is used as the parking brake.
